Meaning of Ourme in the Gypsy Tarot
Card no. 14
Feminine spirit and spirituality are essential among the Gypsies. It is indeed the women who hold the gift of the divinatory arts, but also that of healing through esoteric magic, handed down from mother to daughter for a great many generations. They are therefore seen as Ourmes, good fairies gifted at easing physical ailments, but also at keeping evil spirits and negative energies away from the path of certain people belonging to their clan.
Accused of witchcraft during the dark age of the Inquisition, these women are in fact spiritual sorceresses, who draw on the plant and animal kingdoms to improve everyone’s well-being. They do drive out evil, of course, but they also attract benevolent spirits and cast spells to encourage feelings of love and financial ease for those who need it most.
❤️ Depiction of Ourme ❤️
The card reveals a charming young woman whose hair is as long as it is blonde. She wears a long dress of immaculate white, recalling purity and the idea of rebirth. With an expert hand, she pours the fluid of life from a carafe as golden as the rays of the sun into a silver-colored vial, like the brightness of the moon. She stands sheltered by a mighty willow, a tree that evokes the soul and nature as much as the wisdom flowing from all spirituality.
On the small table in front of her, you can make out the ingredients that go into her magic potion: salt, which expresses the notions of learning and knowledge, and leaves and fruit from a pomegranate tree, which symbolize strength, feelings of affection and fertility. At her feet sits a tree frog, which embodies the notions of luck and natural regeneration.
🙂 Meaning of Ourme upright 🙂
While this card may seem a touch metaphysical, it is no less rational and considered in what it announces. It thus speaks of maturity, thanks to deep reflection on your various experiences, which now make you see the world through different eyes.
It also helps you take a more measured view of everything around you, and that brings you a great deal of peace and harmony. It is thanks to your new capacity for understanding what happens in your daily life that you evolve and become more open to others.
Carry on along this path and you will reach an unshakeable serenity, one that will make you a valued being, admired for their great humanitarian values and their deep wisdom.
🙃 Meaning of Ourme reversed 🙃
Your pride gets the better of you and every day you miss out on the essential things in life, just to feed your ego. As a result, you no longer respect the high values of friendship or mutual support. That is a great shame, all the more so because, by deceiving the people around you, you deceive yourself, and you are no longer in tune with the simple and worthwhile things in your life.
Indeed, you always need more, but by accumulating in this way, with impulsiveness and nonchalance, you risk ending up alone, in poor health, and sooner than you can imagine.
